Notable portfolio moves during FY 2009
Purchase of $2.5 billion of investment grade corporate bonds in August 08 –March 09. Result: Up 21% from November 08 – June 09
Made additional investments of $243 million in several bank loans funds in October 08 in response to margin calls to prevent forced liquidation of nearly $750 million in positions. Result: Up 19% from October 08 – June 09

Emerging market equities rebounded the most in 2009. We are evaluating whether it makes sense to increase our very small
exposure to this asset class.
